About the tree...
Put a tape recorder in the forest. I am fairly confident it will record the sound though you are not there. 99.999...% confident of that

but then your observing it indirectly.
HAHA!!!!!
HAHA!!!!!
Another interesting question, does the light go off when you close the fridge? Does it? does it? And no observing here, answer through other means
yes, cause i know how it works, and i can turn the light off when its open .
also, i once saw a see-through fridge and it does so THERE. UP YOURS.
hehehehee i proved you wrong.

Another hijacked thread.. SCORE!

That's because something is there to record the sound. I'm talking about if no one were there to hear the sound, would there be a sound?

YES THERE WOULD (all in captitals)
There should be, because the tree moves the air, thus creating sound.
And Logically, you observed that the light went out, that´s notfair

but i cant prove anything without observing it. your cheating.
ah whatever. im going to bed.

Dunno, I think, in that case, there is nothing. And Darkness and Light are just a matter of perception.
If the sound is not heard, or observed in some other way, then it cannot be said to have happened. The implication is that there is something very important about observation.
A sound is only an air compression wave which hits the eardrum and is then recreated as "pitch" "amplitude" and "tone". So truly until the air compression hits a working eardrum, a sound will NOT be made. Though the potential is there, all that defines a sound is not.
Same goes with existence, until I observe something to be true, there is nothing that precludes it from simply not existing.
In short, you are NOT until the "now" at which you are observed.
Yeah, so... there might be a god, there might not. Hell, there might be a giant fluorescent pink orang utan floating above lake plopadop on planet ooglepoop, or there might not. You can't say "there is.." to either of these because you don't have one remotely worthy piece of evidence to support the claim. Of course though, you have to employ the 'faith' word just on the off chance that there is - so you can end up in a land of gold once you become a rotting corpse. Good on you.
